Here are couple options on my blog: Vanilla Bean Buttercream - iscreamforbuttercream.com/vanillabeanbuttercreamrecipe/ and Heat Stable Shortening based buttercream - iscreamforbuttercream.com/bright-white-heat-stable-pipeable-buttercream/
Positively Pessimistic Panda It helps to use vegetable shortening instaead of butter in the buttercream. That makes it a little more heat stable. It doesn’t taste quiet as good as all butter buttercream, but it won’t melt as fast. I have a recipe for that on the blog if you want to check it out. Here’s the link: iscreamforbuttercream.com/bright-white-heat-stable-pipeable-buttercream/ Also when you pipe in hot weather, you may have to take frequent breaks to chill your buttercream a bit. The buttercream will get warm in the piping bag just from having your hand around the bag but it’ll get warm even faster if it’s warm weather so you might have to take breaks and pop the buttercream into the fridge just enough to cool it down a bit before piping some more. Hope this helps!
I Scream for Buttercream Thank you! This time I’ve opted to use store bought frosting as it is a bit stiffer, and yes it has a higher shortening and oil content than regular buttercream, but I generally used Swiss meringue buttercream because it tastes really good.
Positively Pessimistic Panda Swiss meringue is really good. I tend to use the American buttercream more in my area and it just seems to work better for me in the heat here. If you use the store bought buttercream and have problems with it, you could always add in a bit of extra confectioners sugar to thicken it up some if you need to. I haven’t had much luck with store bought but it does seem to help when you add in a bit more confectioners sugar. Hope everything turns out well!
